[Rear patrol suspension on pathy.]

Why not just buy a Patrol in that case?

They kick ass

I'd like some skid plates...

I hear the Black Panther guy is from Winnipeg...?

If so, I can try to help to convince him to get back business.

I'll put on my best sad face

[Which Suspension lift package?]

I'd say the full OME set up is pricey but well worth it if you can afford such a super-fantastic mod.

For coils, the OME HD 2" springs are just retarded (as is damn sweet!). I combined those with KYB GR-2

struts and Bilstein 5100 shocks... and haven't looked back since

I've heard many good things about the AC lift too. As long as the springs are beefy enough (which they

will be), the only major worry is $$$. A suspension lift kit makes all the difference in the world on a

truck. The improvement between OEM and aftermarket is night and day. Well worth it!

that's a lot of replies! Thanks everyone!!!

For me, the biggest thing is that drums are brutal when they get wet. In winter, going through snow and @!*% makes the drums basically useless. A 4-way disc set-up would work wonders for braking, esp. in nasty winter conditions and in deep-water situations. Lousy drums

Also, drums rust up and look just naaaaaaaaasty! Discs all around would look damn sexy and serve a real nice purpose.

I'm still researching possible donors for such a conversion... As of yet, I'm still clueless. BUT, I heard some Infiniti QX4 late models have rear discs, as well as its Japanese counterpart the Terrano Regulus. I have yet to confirm this but I'm still researching!

Thanks for the support ya'll! This forum is the shiznit!

[Be careful out there]

That's a very tragic accident. May he rest in peace.

My condolences go out to his family and friends.

Hey hey everyone!

 

Hope all is well across the forum. Summer is pretty much over and, for me at least, snow is on the way... *shudder* However, this is the first time in at least 5 years I'm looking forward to snow because I can put my ride to some use and see how it handles the cold.

But I digress... I've been doing a whole lot of research on my truck ('98 R50) and have made the tentative decision to modify the rear drums to a disc-brake conversion. That being said, I'm wondering if anyone has ever come across such an idea, or have already made such an attempt.

I'm quite certain such a modification would cost some serious coinage; even so, I'd like to see if it could be done and what would be required...

If anyone has any useful info or advice, I'd be uber happy!

Cheers!

Thanks everyone!

Good to know this forum is chock full of friendly Pathy enthusiasts. There aren't many here where I live so it makes modding a little difficult. Good to know I can come on here and get some much needed help.

As for the pictures, I'll upload what I've currently got! Enjoy :)

my name's tyler and i picked up a '98 pathy xe in late april. it's a wicked ride, both on and off the road. it's got a 2" old man emu hd suspension lift, kyb gr-2 front struts, bilstein 5100 rear shocks, custom fab rear detachable sway bar links and 32" toyo open country a/t tires. i've got a list of many other things i'm hoping to do with it but my knowledge is limited beyond oem specs.

i've always been a huge nissan car fan, going way back to the days of gran turismo on the psone, but my love for nissan trucks began in 2004 when i first saw a titan at a local dealership. since then i've been lucky enough to get my hands on a badass pathfinder, a great truck which is a pure blast to drive. i plan on hanging on to this truck and hopefully making it a real head-turner. i hope nobody minds the amount of questions i'll have to make that dream a reality

all the best to everyone who's making their pathfinders their off-road dream rides!
